It Saddens Me More Than A Bit

It saddens me more than a bit to think i will not live to see When between race and gender there will be equality Considered to be inferior by your sexuality and the color of your skin Some battles in life are not easy to win Racism and sexism as ever seem rife So sadly they do seem part of human life Gender and racial inequality are with us today Some things slow to change it does seem this way Add to these sexual preference which many people choose to hide Because of prejudice a well founded fear in Countries Worldwide The age of unenlightenment we are told is in the long gone But prejudice as we all know today does live on Though free speech as such should never be a crime A Human World free of prejudice will not be in my lifetime In this so called age of enlightenment some in their thinking are small And when they talk of a fair go they do not mean a fair go for all.
